I NEED HELP

I am trying to arrange a shelf with all the books I have published in all of their various editions and translations in chronological order and I have run into a problem. I know what these three books are translations of, because it says so right there on the cover, but I have not a clue what languages they are in. Can anybody help?

    Looks like Greek to me.

    First is Chinese with simplified characters (probably PRC)

    Second is Korean

    Third is Chinese with traditional characters (probably Taiwan)

    Worth asking Prof. Victor Mair from Upenn to make doubly sure. He writes at the Language Log blog and I am sure he would be keen to help.
